After being reborn, all I want to do is run away.

Chapter 443 Star Pointing Finger

Zhou Tai's expression changed when he felt the water he was manipulating being parted by Shen Xu. This meant that Shen Xu's mastery of the art of water was probably superior to his own.

At such a young age, to have such profound understanding of the Dao, how could he not be alarmed?

Seeing Shen Xu's figure disappear, Zhou Tai immediately manipulated the Heavenly River water under the Thunder Pattern Black Iron to protect himself. At the same time, under his control, streams of torrents quickly enveloped the entire sword-testing platform.

The river, carrying lightning, whipped every corner of the testing ground like a silver snake dancing wildly.

The moment they spotted Shen Xu, all the silver torrents rushed towards him like sharp swords, tearing him to shreds.

Zhou Tai's heart skipped a beat. "What a brilliant illusion!"

"boom!"

A deafening roar echoed across the sword-testing platform. Zhou Tai grunted and flew backward, crashing heavily into the railing. The surrounding torrents instantly vanished.

Shen Xu's slightly solemn face was revealed.

"Brother Shen, if this were your strongest attack, you probably wouldn't be able to beat me today." Zhou Tai slowly got up as if nothing had happened, patting off non-existent dust from his body.

“If Brother Zhou stays in your turtle shell forever, I’m afraid he won’t be able to beat me,” Shen Xu said with a smile.

"Haha, Brother Shen may have misunderstood. Actually, my strongest point is not defense, and it's not a tortoise shell either!" Zhou Tai's words grew increasingly cold.

These words immediately put Shen Xu on guard.

"Blame it on your own arrogance!"

Zhou Tai pointed a finger lightly at Shen Xu, and a cold glint instantly filled his entire field of vision.

Shen Xu felt as if time and space around him had slowed down, and everything around him became so quiet, with only a pale blue starlight in front of him. The sharpness hidden in it made the nerves next to his temples throb.

Without time to hesitate, he frantically poured the primordial energy from his dantian into his legs. The second petal of the Crystal Lotus emitted boundless clear light, merging into the thunderous intent nurtured in the first petal, instantly turning the Dao seal between his brows into a brilliant purple.

"A flash of lightning!"

Shen Xu's figure vanished from the spot in an instant, while that point of starlight, like a meteor streaking across the sky, rushed straight into the Milky Way, exploding into waves that surged into the sky and stretched for hundreds of meters.

"Hiss... Star Pointing Finger! It was just a friendly spar, Senior Brother Zhou went a bit too far with that move! What did Shen Xu say to make Senior Brother Zhou so angry?"

"It is indeed a bit excessive, but don't you think it's even more terrifying that Shen Xu was able to dodge this move?"

"Indeed, I have only ever seen someone withstand Senior Brother Zhou's Star-Pointing Finger, but I have never seen anyone dodge it."

Guan Bi's expression turned completely gloomy. If Zhou Tai's full-force Star Pointing Finger had hit Shen Xu, he would have been crippled or killed.

Although the Heavenly River Sword Testing Platform has a special teleportation restriction, she fears that with the speed of the Star Pointing Finger, the restriction will not work, and there is no need to continue this competition.

Shen Xu was still somewhat shaken at this moment; he hadn't expected Zhou Tai to use such a brutal move.

Although the starlight was aimed at his arm, if it had hit his arm, it would probably have exploded.

"It's only right to reciprocate. Brother Zhou gave me such a wonderful gift; wouldn't it seem petty of me not to give one back?" Shen Xu's gaze turned cold.

"Then I'll have to see Brother Shen's amazing skills," Zhou Tai said with a sneer.

Although he was also shocked that Shen Xu could dodge his Star Pointing Finger, he also believed that with Shen Xu's cultivation at the early stage of Qi Sea Realm, he absolutely could not break through his 'Three Thousand Flowing Body'.

"Then Brother Zhou, please keep a close eye on things."

The cold moon in Shen Xu's hand shimmered, and an illusory bright moon appeared out of thin air on the sword-testing platform. The upside-down sword drew water from the Milky Way to create numerous water mirrors, each reflecting the illusory moonlight and his ever-growing illusory figure.

Seeing the numerous water mirrors on the sword-testing platform, and the many afterimages of Shen Xu hidden within them, Zhou Tai couldn't help but sneer: "Even the real body can't harm me, let alone the illusionary body."

He then controlled numerous water flows, constantly impacting the water mirrors surrounding him. Although he did not completely disperse the water mirrors, he prevented them from solidifying.

But he soon noticed something was wrong; more and more water mirrors were surrounding him.

Meanwhile, Shen Xu's endless phantoms were hidden in the gaps of the mirror array, or emerged directly from the water mirror to attack him.

Most importantly, although those attacks were weak, they were real.

How is this possible? Although the Qi Sea Realm is said to have vast Yuan Qi like the sea, it is not inexhaustible. At Shen Xu's fighting style, he should have exhausted his Yuan Qi long ago.

But why are there more and more phantoms around me, and they are becoming more and more realistic? Each of those phantoms is almost identical to the real body.

This made Zhou Tai uneasy. He couldn't let things continue like this, so he summoned the waters of the Milky Way again to completely cover the entire Sword Testing Platform, washing it over and over again.

But after all the river water had completely disappeared, Zhou Tai's expression changed, even though nothing had changed around him.

The endless water mirror still hovered beside him, while Shen Xu's phantoms completely surrounded him, each wearing a hideous demon mask and staring intently at him.

Zhou Tai trembled. He knew he had probably fallen into Shen Xu's illusion, but he felt that everything around him was so real, and he could even feel the impact of Shen Xu's illusion attacking him.

"Die, all of you!" Zhou Tai roared, his face contorted with rage.

A powerful blue sword aura swept across the entire testing platform, severing many of Shen Xu's phantoms in half, but they quickly returned to normal in Zhou Tai's despairing eyes.

"You think this is an illusion?" A clear, ethereal voice came from all directions around Zhou Tai.

"Get out here! Do you dare to fight me fair and square?" Zhou Tai roared at those around him.

"Are you sure?"

Just as the voice faded, all the water mirrors and illusions vanished completely, and Shen Xu's figure slowly appeared in front of Zhou Tai.

"good chance!"

Zhou Tai was overjoyed. As expected, Shen Xu was still too young. So, a cold glint appeared on his fingertips again. He didn't believe that Shen Xu could dodge a second time at such close range.

"You can't even distinguish my true form before you try to attack me. Isn't that a bit too hasty?"

Just as he was about to make a move, Shen Xu's voice suddenly rang out behind him. Without any hesitation, Zhou Tai turned around and pointed, but when the starlight disappeared from his sight, he realized that there was nothing behind him.

"It seems you really want to kill me." Shen Xu's voice rang out again from all directions, and at the same time, Zhou Tai heard four neat and uniform footsteps.
